Phase 1 & 2

ALMA Phase 1 (observing proposal) and Phase 2 (telescope runfiles for accepted proposals) materials are submitted through the ALMA Observing Tool (OT). Below are documentation which will aid the created and submitted of Phase 1 and Phase 2 with the OT.

The ALMA Science Pipeline has been developed with the goal of performing automated data processing before delivery to the user. It performs ALMA interferometric and single-dish data end-to-end processing (calibration and imaging).

ALMA data sets undergo a series of quality assurance (QA) processes. The QA2 stage is an assurance that the observations have achieved the characteristics requested in the proposal. This document describes the QA2 process and the data products delivered to the users.
